<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='828205' first='Dorothy' last='Durrill'] – HPSTL 17 Royal</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I've followed May since her freshman year at MICDS, and one standout quality of her game is her ability to take control of a match. As a North Carolina commit, I'm eager to see how she performs on a stacked HPSTL team where solid passing and defense will provide her with ample opportunities to dominate. With several Division I athletes alongside her, this season promises to be thrilling.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485570' first='Eden' last='Robart'] – HPSTL 17 Royal</strong></p>

<p>Eden is making the trek from Potosi to St. Louis to elevate her game and gain valuable exposure. I'm excited to see what she brings to this talented HPSTL team, which is loaded with skill from top to bottom. Eden's commitment to improving and playing at a higher level makes her a player to watch closely this weekend.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='828314' first='Marlee' last='Steiner'] – HPSTL 17 Royal</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Heading to Mizzou after next season, Marlee is another impressive Division I prospect on the HPSTL 17 Royal team. Standing at 6'4", she has the skill set to play opposite, but her performance in the middle is truly remarkable. This will be my first opportunity to see Marlee play in the past year, and I'm eager to witness her impact above the net.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='836165' first='Micheline' last='Roth'] – HPSTL 17 Orange</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Micheline's stock continues to rise as she gains more exposure on the court. At 6'2", this left pin hitter is a powerful force, playing well above the net. Her improved backcourt play allows her to excel as a six-rotation outside hitter and backcourt attacker, making her an exciting player to watch on this talented HPSTL Orange team.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='618831' first='Albany' last='Humphrey'] – HPSTL 17 Orange</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As a game-changer for her North Point High School team, Albany has led her squad to new heights. This outside hitter is a significant asset, and her experience and relentless work ethic will be key in helping the HPSTL 17 Orange team compete among the top teams in the Gateway League.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485593' first='Jersey' last='Robinson'] – HPSTL 17 Orange</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jersey has played a crucial role in revitalizing the Hillsboro High School volleyball program, and I'm eager to see how she contributes to the HPSTL 17 Orange team. With a high volleyball IQ and the ability to play multiple roles, Jersey is quick off the floor and possesses a powerful arm. I'm looking forward to watching her thrive among such talented teammates.</p>
